"""Example script to use AutoTrader for manual trading via API.

It is recommeded that you run this in an interactive environment, such 
as IPython. Otherwise, you must copy and paste these commands in a 
Python terminal, rather than just running the script.

This is a good way to play around and test things before automating them
in a strategy.
